Allma with innovative cabling technology

The Cable-Corder CC4, which has been awarded the Saurer E³ label for triple added value, has won over the market.

The Tire Technology Expo 2017 is the international exhibition and conference for tyre construction and tire production. The event from February 14-16, 2017 provided an unique insight into state-of-the-art technologies for materials, finishing and machine systems over the entire spectrum of the tire manufacturing process. The Allma trade fair team welcomed at booth 2056 in hall 2 and presented the latest developments in the tyre cord twisting and cabling processes.

The Cable Corder CC4 with patented energy saving technology stands for highest profitability. The Cable-Corder CC4, which has been awarded the Saurer E³ label for triple added value, has won over the market. The innovative technology allows for energy cost savings of up to 50 per cent and reduces the number of yarn breaks by up to 50 per cent. Furthermore, it offers low noise emission and simple machine handling.

With the patented energy saving upgrade package, the great number of Allma CC3 cabling machines that are in use can be retrofitted with the CC4 technology. Further innovative developments are the production of balanced 3-ply tyre cord in a single-stage process as well as the possibility to produce hybrid yarns both in the two-for-one and cabling process.

The Allma trade fair team took pleasure in welcoming its customers and interested visitors and informed them on the future twisting and cabling technology.
